How are you? Hope everyone is in good health and conditions.
Since 2018, I’ve started my journey as minimalist. Now, at the end of 2025, I’m heading to back to a basic lifestyle, reducing expenses and living an optimum lifestyle.
I try to make something useful from every container, box, bottle and reuse it for other purposes. One of it was eggs container which I feel is very useful and filled my needs.
Living in a small home in town, had opened my eyes to cut some expenses, and I started from my groceries.
Making a seedling pot from eggs container 🪴
1. Cut into 2 for the normal eggs container and put the cover under the eggs container as per in the photo.2. Make a little hole on each of the bottom for the eggs container as per in the photo above. You can cut a little bit with a scissor/blade and use pencil/chopstick to make a small round hole.3. Put 2/3 of mixed soil into the container like this and put each of the containers with seeds, onions, and ginger (whatever you want). I’m using chilli, tomato, ginger, and garlic as these are normally I use for cooking.4. Then, cover the rest of the container with the same mixed soil and water it.5. This photo is after 5 days I’m watering it. As for now, I can see garlic and tomato started sprouting from the seeds. Can’t wait to see the rest soon 🥰❤️
If you have a landed property, it will be awesome for this activity. Please pray for me to have landed property soon, so I can make more diy project to recycle things I have at my home. 😇
It has a variety of meanings for many people. But for me, money is just a tool to satisfy our needs and wants. My retirement goal is to stay away as far as I can from something that required money. You need to ask yourself, what money can satisfy your needs and wants? To me, my need is food. I don’t buy much clothes. I don’t buy much shoes, or bags. It’s foods, water bill, electricity bills, internet bills and a house I can call a home.
I want to retire earlier than compulsory age. I want to have a living where I don’t need to worry about bills, mortgages, and foods. my focus for retirement is to go back to basic life and needs. I want to be away from massive traffic jammed. I want to be away from toxic circle friends and families. I just want to be alive and enjoying each my day n seconds, glorifying life surrounding me. I had enough of this fake world and getting back to real purpose or living.
I set my target, to retire in the next 10 years, insya Allah.
Wollaa…what’s up, Everybody? It’s been ages I didn’t update my blog. Sorry guys, been really busy these days, weeks, months and about a year. haha!! 😃
Well Well Well, it’s just around the corner, we are about to enter year of 2024!! Hoho!! Time flies so fast…and now the world is ending…hurmmmm.
Well everyone, I’ve successfully managed to live a minimalist lifestyle for about at least 5 years, to be honest, I really love the lifestyle and bring a lot of positive vibes. especially when I stopped buying junk stuff, and selling my junk stuff. Keep my environment clean n tidy.
As for now, I have a new things to unlock, where I’m looking forward a place to settle down and built my own sustainability and zero waste house. Yes!!! U heard it correctly and clearly. I wanna built a family with sustainability and zero waste home. Then, I wanna have my own farm and a run a restaurant. But before hand, it required a loooooooOoooot of research, the risk and impact to each item I wanna unlock moving forward 2024 and onward. WeehoooOooo!!
Babe, to be honest..the minimalist lifestyle makes me having some extras, where I can proceed my future goal on the next level..which is..sustainability and zero waste. Hihihi!!!
So guys, stay tuned! Looking forward for sustainability and zero waste residential and restaurant for the new achievements. Insya Allah 🥰❤️🥰
Just to share my experience healing after ups & down working crazily. hahaha…
Check these out..
Tadaaa!!! This is the entrance to the Hotel’s Lobby. It was huge and smell soo good. I’m kinda love the ambience.
So I reached to this hotel quiet early, around 2pm. The check-in time is 3pm. Yay!! 1 hour early, I’m checking out the surrounding and found 1 nice outdoor restaurant. it’s called, “The Burgerlab”!!
The view is breathtaking from the BurgerLab restaurant..and it’s breezing. I had a good lunch here 🥰❤🥰The Hawaian burger and chicken nugget.I bought 1 set..cost RM 30, the burger, side dish macaroni and bottomless soft drink. The bridge from the lobby to the BurgerLab restaurant.Breathtaking view for the ponds. Need to take the bridge to the BurgerLab.the pond views…it has lot of fishes. You can buy fish pellet at the counter, cost RM 5.30/pack. Tadaa!!! I bought 3packets!! 😃😃😃There is some info regarding the fish naming..I dont bother those..lolThe pool is soo huge and beautiful..max depth is 1.5m, not too deep, but at least better than most of hotels swimming pool. normally they have 1.2m depth. Nice pool. The Loaf!! it’s cafe..a nice but pricey..hehhheh. once awhile, it’s good to have it. the bottle drinks cost RM 15.90. I forgot the bread..lolSo, I booked Deluxe Room, it looks something like this. When I check-in, they said my room is not ready and about 4pm plus, need to push until I get the key. I asked for late check-out, coz the check-out is 11am. So, im requesting check-out at 12pm. Not sure, maybe because of the peak hours the service is relatively slow. so, yea, if u go during peak hour, try to ask the staff several times until they give the key. yay!! LOLOkay, so this is the elevators to the ground floor which lead to swimming pools and to hotels rooms. the hallway to the rooms..Breakfast is…okay..not too fancy..but not too lousy. Okay for breakfast.alright, the card u received for the rooms has this pamphlet. You can get free drinks and some discounts on their restaurant if not mistaken. but I dont use any of it. hahaahha..I went to “Farm in the City”. Will update on that u next post..something interesting ..hehehe 😁😁😁Okay ,before went back..Im having my lunch at the BurgerLab..coz I think the food is really niceI took Joe Burger..But I guess Hawaiians burger is nicer..a bit spicy than this. this burger taste similar to McChicken..normal burger.
Okay, till then..my experience staying at Bangi Resort Hotel. I will definitely come back and try out their spa n gym..
Hey hey heyy, hey everyone!! How are ya? Hope you are all doing good.
Just wanna share some ideas on what I’d completed to my 1st home. A lil bit touch up before ready to open for viewing.
So basically, what only left are:
1. To receive another curtain as current curtain is actually shorts after the folding. LOL. So I bought another 2 blackout curtain for my living room.
2. To receive my TV, I bought a smart TV for the house.
3. To hang the kitchen’s curtain. I already have it, just that I forgot to bring plier and scissor for cutting and adjusting the wire.
4. To hang bathroom mirror and bathroom rack. I need to bring along the strong double sided tape, I guess I just use double sided tape for the rack. 😃
5. To dismantle and install the water heater. I already bought 2units, just need plumber to install. I already book plumber to do such things 😀
So, check these out the differences before I took over and after I took over the house 😃🥰😃
When I’m viewing the house before my tenant move out.This was after I cleaning up the house and make a lil changes.This will be the final, only the Smart TV left to put on the TV cabinet.
Check out the kitchen…
This was before when I viewing the house and my tenant still living in.After my tenant move out and I clean up the kitchen.This was the final after I do a total cleanup in n out the kitchen cabinet and buy some carpets for kitchen.I love as clean as this..🥰❤🥰
Now, let’s see the dining area…🥰
This was before the tenant move out.This was after the cleaning up,, I rearranged n buy some stuff for the dining area.
Let’s check out rooms, the house has 3rooms and 2bathrooms.
The masterbedroom during the tenancy.The master bedroom after cleaning up, painted furnitures and bought mattress cover & some matched curtains .This was the middle room, where the tenant make it as a store room. A lot of clean up done for this room. This was the current view. Perhaps it need some rearrange, but not sure yet. I just bought the mattress cover and curtain for this room. This was the smallest room. Originally I made it as my wardrobe room and clothes organization room. So, my tenant just continue it, kinda have a lot of stuff during my visit that day.So I do a clean up and bought curtain. nothing much I did for this room. Just a cleaning.
So, most of the thing I did was, a massive clean up, throwing unnecessary stuff and do a lot of painting. I did paint the furniture such as TV cabinet, coffee table, make up table, mirror frame, TV rack, the dryer outside as well 😃
Some other things I snap photo before I went back home, last Saturday 😃🥰😃
I still need 2 more curtains..lolThe shoe rack, I don’t buy expensive shoe rack. I just re-paint the original brown wooden color with black and light grey color. I just buy the spray paint, make my life easier..LOLTadaa ❤❤❤
Okay, I will snap some photos later, after the rest pending things complete.
Hey hey heylllOoww Everybody!!!! Hahaha…I feel soOooOooooOooo refreshing today. Happy Eid Adha to all my Muslim sisters and brothers.
Last Friday, I’m visiting the 5 star hotel at Putrajaya – Pulse Grande Hotel. I really need a good break, and having my own time there. Whenever I felt about to burn out from work, I will reward myself by locking down myself in a good hotel.
Let’s check this out..
This is the entrance of the Pulse Grande Hotel entrance. As you can park your car at the near by parking lot with free of charge ❤The original lobby at Level 3 was in progress of renovation. I should say the interior is quite old, and need to do some renovation. The temporary Lobby was at Level 2. Picture shows the view from the parking. Parking is a bit far, but don’t worry, there is a free buggy pickup and drop at the entrance of the Lobby. But, I don’t like waiting, so I just walked 😃From the temporary entrance, you can see the Receptionist on your left, and straight path to the room’s lift on your right. Drop by at the receptionist for check-in, they will ask your Identity Card for local visitor, and perhaps your passport for foreigner. The receptionist will brief you on which floor the hotel and restaurant, and what time the room service will be available. If you bring your car, they will ask your Plat Number for their records. From the receptionist, there are 2 type of elevator. On the right side is transparent elevator, which you can see the garden and small river downstairs. The other elevator also can bring you to the rooms, however it’s not transparent and it’s a normal elevator. Well, I want to see the view, so I’m using this transparent elevator to my room. 🥰When I’m entering the room, there is huge foyer infront of the room. I think this is the biggest foyer so far I had experience for hotels 😃. The left side is wardrobe and right side was the bathroom.The bathroom is spacious compared normal hotel I went in KL. There is separate bathtub, shower and bowl. You can enter for 3 or 4 pax inside the bathroom!! hahahaha 😂So, the unique part for this hotel room is that, it has opened window for bathtub to the room!! I can see it’s very convenient for those who want to have honeymoon here..or just to bring kids for having fun in bathtub. It’s kinda a good idea for me. So, this is the big and comfortable bedroom in the room. I think there is a decoration services as well if you want to celebrate your memories day with some extra charges. I don’t know how much, you may check out by calling the hotel 😃The overall view from one of the room corner.There is a chair and table if you want to write or work with your laptop. On top of the table, there is a pencil and note, just in case if you need to write and leave a note.I’m kinda like the switches for the room. 🥰It has appropriate label on each of the switches. The view from bedroom to the bathroom.the view from the bathroom to the bedroom.Separated shower, bowl and bathtub I like the water pressure for the shower and love the built in rack. The toiletries. Shower gel and shampoo The room has bathrobes and indoor shoes. I really love the bathrobes, it’s very much comfortable. 🥰The mirror. Some refreshment…Coffee and TeaI brought my fairy light each time I went to hotel. It gave me relaxing vibes and chill ambience 🥰❤🥰
So, I just stay for a night, and I didn’t take their breakfast. Maybe once I got time, I will rebook again and try their breakfast. It’s just a day escape from a hectic life I had for past few months.
I really love the view, it was quiet and tranquil surrounding the hotel. This is the view from the balcony.
The next morning, I check out a bit early around 11am. You can check in after 3pm, and check out before 12pm at this hotel. When u check out, the receptionist will ask u if buggy required. I just feel too lazy to wait for the buggy, so I just walked to my car 😃😃😃
On the way back, I just took some snap photo at their garden. Oh!! If you stay here, this place has a very nice lights garden that you can walk casually with your love one here.
That’s all. It was worth it to chill and relax, to get urself a refreshment after a tiring weeks/months from work.
Hello everyone!! How are you? Hahahaha..I’ve been drowning in workload for past 2months..It’s about to end soon, insya Allah ❤
Last Saturday I managed to make an appointment for body massage! Yeehaa!! It was really a hectic life for past few months, now only I can manage to have my “me time”. Insya Allah, in future..I want to do something so that I will have more time for me and my family. 🥰
I booked with Makcik Urut – A body massage spa, and took Pakej Delima, where I got complimentary Foot Therapy, Body massage (u can choose either traditional massage or aromatherapy massage, and this package I took has Tungku (where they will put a hot river stone on ur body). I don’t recommend the traditional massage, it’s painful for me. haha. probably I will choose aromatherapy in my next visit. The foot therapy, I think they put salt and some flowers..and leave it for 20minutes before the body massage. Hurmm..They have variety ways, some on the table like this, other with chair, and lot of it, they have mattress on the floor for massage. The rest of the spaces. The partition is curtain between one to another. This is mine, They will give you the “Batik” clothes and towel to cover up. You will need to take of ur clothes, and put on the clothes. 🙈 For those who not used to it, you will feel awkward at first time 🙈🙈🙈
Okay, after 1hour n 20min, they will provide green tea. To be honest, I will give 7/10 stars, because the therapist they gave me, she whack my veins..hahaha..next time I need to choose better Therapist who has more experience so that they can adjust to our body needs. Don’t forget to make a survey which therapist had good experience, it’s very important to make an appointment with them first and check their availability. Hahahaahaha…Till then…I think I need to have a looking treatment for myself…like a week holiday. Hahaha..till then..see u in my next post..Im gonna check out one 5star hotel soon.
